Why does copy/paste not work with Remote Desktop

So what do I do when clipboard stops working when you are using Windows Remote Desktop?

Fixing the issue is pretty straightforward and involves a few basic steps.
  1. Load up task manager (right click taskbar and select Task Manager)
  2. Go to the Processes Tab
  3. Select rdpclip.exe
  4. Click End Process
  5. Go to the Application Tab
  6. Click New Task
  7. Type rdpclip
  8. Click OK

That should get things going again.
